Enable push notifications

Push notifications require explicit permission.

The app will ask for permission when you enable push notifications. If you click Deny/Block (or your browser auto-blocks prompts), the browser won’t show the permission prompt again, and the app can’t override that. In that case you must re-enable notifications from your browser settings.

Desktop (Windows / macOS / Linux)

Chrome / Chromium / Edge (website in the browser)

  1. Open the app website.

  2. Click the lock (or site icon) next to the address bar.

  3. Open Site settings (or Permissions).

  4. Set Notifications to Allow.

Alternative path:

  • Open browser SettingsPrivacy and securitySite settingsNotifications, then move the site from Blocked/Not allowed to Allowed.

Chrome (installed PWA)

Installed PWAs use the same site permission underneath.

  1. Allow notifications for the site (steps above).

  2. Check OS notifications:

    • Windows: Settings → System → Notifications → ensure the PWA/browser is allowed.

    • macOS: System Settings → Notifications → ensure the PWA/browser is allowed.

    • Linux: ensure desktop notifications are enabled for your session/DE.

Firefox (website in the browser)

  1. Open the app website.

  2. Click the padlock in the address bar.

  3. Open More information / page info → Permissions.

  4. Under Send Notifications, choose Allow (or remove a previous Block so Firefox can ask again).

Safari (macOS)

  1. Safari → Settings…WebsitesNotifications.

  2. Find the site and set it to Allow.

Also check macOS:

  • System Settings → Notifications → find the website (or Safari) → Allow Notifications.

Android

Chrome (browser tab or installed PWA)

  1. Open the app website.

  2. Tap the lock (or site icon) → Site settings.

  3. Set Notifications to Allow.

Also check Android system settings:

  • Settings → Apps → (Chrome or the installed web app) → Notifications → enable.

Firefox (Android)

  1. Firefox → SettingsSite permissionsNotifications.

  2. Move the site to Allowed (or remove it from Blocked so Firefox can ask again).

iPhone / iPad (iOS / iPadOS)

iOS/iPadOS supports web push notifications for Home Screen web apps (installed PWAs) on iOS/iPadOS 16.4+. You generally won’t receive web push notifications from a normal browser tab.

Safari (installed PWA)

If you haven’t installed the app yet:

  1. Open the app website in Safari.

  2. Tap ShareAdd to Home Screen.

  3. Open the app from your Home Screen.

Grant/re-grant permission:

  1. In the app, trigger the permission request and tap Allow.

  2. If you previously tapped Don’t Allow, re-enable it in iOS:

    • Settings → Notifications → select the app’s Home Screen web app entry → enable Allow Notifications.

Chrome / Firefox (iOS)

Chrome/Firefox on iOS don’t receive web push notifications from a normal browser tab.

To receive push notifications on iOS/iPadOS, use Safari and install the app as a Home Screen web app (Add to Home Screen), then grant permission there.

Additional considerations

  • Notifications don’t work in private/incognito windows.

  • Your device/OS can block notifications globally (Focus/Do Not Disturb, battery optimizations, system-level notification toggles).

  • Some browsers may remove notification permission for sites you haven’t visited in a while; if that happens, revisit the site and re-allow notifications.
